St Thomas’s School, 4, Diamond Harbour Road, Kidderpore, Calcutta, India. Dear Aunt Hilda, —I am a member of the Young Folks’ League in Bombay, and Aunty Gwen has asked the members to write to you if we want pen friends in New Zealand, as she told us that some girls want correspondents in India. I should be delighted to have a pen friend in New Zealand as I like to hear about foreign countries. New Zealand is a very nice place, and Christchurch is a nice, clean town besides being the chief manufacturing town. I should love to have a pen friend of 15 or 16 years of age, as I am 15. I shall tell her all about my school, Calcutta, the friends I have in school, and all about myself and my hobbies. Our grounds in this school are lovely and I am sure the girl who will be my pen friend will enjoy the description of them. I shall also tell her of the Young Folks’ League, which is very interesting. All my friends are members, and I have just been enrolled. India is lovely, and all the country scenes while travelling are very picturesque. Now I must close. Thanking you, I remain, yours faithfully, Lorna Belcher. St Thomas’s School, 4 Diamond Harbour Road, Kidderpore, Calcutta, India. September 29, 1933. Dear Aunt Hilda, —Aunty Gwen, of the Young Folks’ League, has asked some of the members in India to ask you to give us pen friends. I will be delighted if you will kindly ask one of them to write to me. I have given my address in full above. Please give me a pen friend who is 12, 13 or 14 years of age, as I am 13 years old. I do not get the “ Times ” or “ Star ” paper over here, so I will not know who to write to, unless Aunty Gwen tells me, or the pen friend writes first. Please tell the girl to reply before Christmas or else I might not get her letter, as I will go home for my holidays. I am very interested in New Zealand; it seems a very beautiful place, because I saw it on the screen once. You all must have a great deal of fun in the snow. I have never seen real snow. When I write to my pen friend. I will tell her everything about myself, and send her a photograph, too. I am very eager for my new -pen friend, and will write to her as soon as I know her name and address. I had better close now. Thanking you, j I remain, yours faithfully, Jean Gwyneth Perry.
